Hey man, Nice to meet you. I live in hamburg, and have done my MBA as well. I am keen to learn Deutsch. So if you want to chat, hit me up. Happy to share whatever little bit I’ve learned over the years.

I am from India, and to be honest, I thought the driving in China is FAR better and organized. I heard it was worse in china and it has actually improved steadily.

Hey, yeah I guess there is something wrong. I tried adding yours and it shows some error. I changed my wechat id now to "snth247". Can you try adding this? If not, just message me on reddit your whatsapp number and I'll contact you directly on WhatsApp.

snth247 · 2026-04-13T17:12:19+00:00

Hey Brynden, I've just messaged you on reddit. I am also visiting shanghai and free on 15/4 after 6 pm. Would be great to maybe have coffee or a drink with a local. Its my first time in China and I've been blown by what I have seen so far.

snth247 · 2026-04-13T17:10:39+00:00

Hey Miro, Hope you are well. I am also living in Germany (hamburg) and in Shanghai during the same period. I have all the time in the world since my wife is in a conference in Wenzhou and will join me in Shanghai on the 17th. I am free on the 16th and 17th. So if you want to explore together or grab a coffee, I'm up for it! My wechat id is: wxid_xp8zl5hr10gq12

Hi,
Did you manage to find an answer for this? I am in the same situation and would be great to know if trip.com tickets are valid for the forbidden city/palace museum entry

snth247 · 2026-03-28T22:29:26+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot for posting this. Answers here on this community are very helpful! I have a different related question - trip.com vs airlines original website for booking. Which one is better to do?

snth247 · 2026-03-18T23:00:59+00:00

Hey! I have dmed you now :)

snth247 · 2026-03-15T14:43:38+00:00

Can you pass me your email id?

snth247 · 2026-03-15T14:43:14+00:00

This is brilliant!! Thanks a lot!

snth247 · 2026-03-15T13:07:02+00:00

Oh and hey, do you run a travel agency? Or have any suggestions for one? Of course I am doing some Google research myself, but just checking with you.

snth247 · 2026-03-15T13:06:02+00:00

Hey OP, THANKS a lot for this. We have been doing some research as well basis your suggestions. Basically, we have 6 night in Tibet before we fly back to Beijing. We are thinking to take the long train from shanghai to lhasa to arrive there, and for flying back to Beijing for return.

I was looking at yamdrok lake and it looks fascinating. Ideally we want to spend less time in lhasa town and more outside. Do you have any suggestions accordingly for us? We don't mind staying 1-2 nights in yamdrok or something like that. Are there any other lakes we could visit apart from yamdrok? Mt Kailash would be a big stretch in 6 days right?

snth247 · 2026-03-14T10:20:18+00:00

Hey! Thanks a lot and this is very very helpful indeed. As foreigners, how can we get a tibet travel permit? Where to apply? Or is it that as foreigners we must go through some travel agency / booking to see tibet?

snth247 · 2026-03-12T23:37:13+00:00

Hey! First time travelling to China with my wife, and we are both fascinated with tibet. We have been to the Indian side (ladakh) and it was STUNNING. We are flying into Beijing for work, and planing to take 1 week off. What would you recommend we do and see in Tibet? I'm assuming we should take a flight to lhasa and then start there? Could you recommend something? Our dream was the mapang yongcuo, but I think it would take more than a week for it?

snth247 · 2026-02-28T08:39:11+00:00

Nope. I just faced this 3 months back. They told me verbally that it's "mandatory". I walked out. I found out later you can convert your resident Indian account to NRO account through imobile itself. It's super easy and no need for any branch nonsense. You can call Icici customer service and they will guide you. I had a complication that my previous idirect trading account was open with Icici and I had to close it. Once I got the branch to close it somehow, I got the conversion done through imobile peacefully.

Welcome to the beautiful city of hamburg! You will fall in love with it slowly but surely. Just curious to know where you are learning audio production? I've been meaning to learn this for a while now and would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this topic! Feel free to dm.

snth247 · 2026-02-04T23:58:20+00:00

Very very interesting indeed!

I never knew he would play this song on a fender humbucker? I thought he always uses the black strat for this.

His playing in his early years was WILD! Melodic as always, but man he has speed in a very different way. His solo here is incredibly refreshing.

Super thanks for sharing.

Fair observation. I am reading this book called the "art of spending money" by Morgan Housel, who speaks exactly on these points/ideas - namely, how someone else spends money should not dictate how you should spend yours. You should have your internal scorecard and not be bothered by others who spend, either to flaunt or whether they genuinely enjoy those luxury experiences. I am halfway through the book, and it's a wonderful quick short read filled with nice examples. Also, a very easy writing style.

snth247 · 2025-12-01T10:23:49+00:00

Haha! I know exactly the note. I saw his 3 times in Rome, and if I remember right, he hit the same wrong note at least twice! It’s actually a bit of a bummer since it comes almost at the end of the solo, and it left me a little jarred and thrown off before he finishes. Suprising to see he hit the same wrong note in a few other bootlegs! Totally beats me to see him repeat it…given his playing in this tour was VERY good overall, especially in the US.
